Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Lexie + Jordan

Lexie + Jordan’s wedding day was an intimate + chic soiree that not even a little unexpected rain could ruin. With less than an hour until ceremony, the skies opened + down came the rain. However, Lexie + Jordan’s love proved too much for mother nature as the skies miraculously cleared just in time for Jordan to wait for his bride in front of a stunning mirrored + greenery filled chuppah. After the ceremony, guests traveled to The Pittsburgh Field Club where all of Lexie + Jordan’s favorite “buds” found their place card from the custom floral seating display. The dinner ballroom was a twinkle light fairytale with gorgeous velvet linens + beautiful florals to compliment. The entire day was eloquent + stylish + SHE was so happy to play a part in Lexie + Jordan’s love story.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Becky + John

Becky + John had dreams of an intimate, chic wedding + SHE knew just the spot for them, our studio, Slate. The ceremony was set against our brick wall with greenery growing up the wall in two asymmetrical arches. As Becky + John took pictures throughout the strip district, the SHE team flipped the ceremony room into a twinkling, intimate family style reception room. When guests walked into the room, they found their seat where each place setting had a mini charcuterie board custom to each guest. After dinner, guests moved to the other side of the studio where DJ Digital Dave had everyone on the dancefloor all night long. It was the perfect night + SHE was so happy to be a part of it.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Ali + Christian

Ali + Christian wanted their wedding to be a representation of their fun event for all of their guests. After a beautiful ceremony in one of the Hotel Monaco’s ballrooms, guests moved upstairs to the rooftop for cocktail hour while the SHE team flipped the ceremony room to be one of the reception rooms. Sticking with the fun theme, Ali + Christian wanted a cocktail style reception where guests could move around to different food stations + sit at any of the high top, low top or lounge furniture spread throughout both ballrooms. The fun didn’t stop there as guests were on the dancefloor until the lights came on! It was truly such a wonderful celebration of an amazing couple + SHE could not have been any happier for Ali + Christian.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Laura + Ryan

The celebrations continue for Laura + Ryan with their gorgeous wedding on the blog this week. The ceremony took place in the outdoor garden at Phipps Conservatory, which was the perfect location for the stunning floral arch created by Hens + Chicks. After a cocktail hour in the outdoor garden, guests moved inside the Conservatory. The main event hall was transformed like never before with beautiful florals + a custom curved bar that was truly a statement piece with flowers stemming from the bottom. It was an amazing weekend full of love + SHE was honored to be part of it!
